ZecZcash has published a new guide covering Zcash viewing keys — a tool that allows users to selectively share transaction information without disclosing their private spending key.
The guide covers the distinctions between incoming and full viewing keys, Unified Viewing Keys (uview / uivk), and clarifies what information each type of viewing key reveals. It also addresses when it is safe to share a viewing key and why viewing keys matter for Zcash's privacy model.
The guide is available on the ZecZcash blog.
